Attorney General Githu Muigai was a topic of discussion after he made his submission at the Court of Appel where the IEBC filed an appeal against a High Court ruling, ordering that presidential results be declared at the Constituency level.
In his submission, the AG noted that the presidential results cannot be declared in the constituency because the Constitution states that the IEBC Chairman is the only one who can declare the results.
